Adam Bartolanzo?wrote for the American Bar Association’s Procurement Lawyer fall newsletter about a Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit’s decision earlier this year in?Percipient.ai, Inc. v. United States?that expanded the Court of Federal Claims’ bid protest jurisdiction. The article analyzes the potential repercussions of?Percipient.ai?and how it may affect the waiver of statutory immunity from bid protests going forward. “While the Federal Circuit may not have cut the doctrine’s head off entirely, Percipient.ai certainly gave sovereign immunity something akin to a guillotine haircut for what could be a ‘flood’ of protests from potential subcontractors in the wake of that decision,” he writes.

Check out this podcast for the latest legal hot topics related to regulation and transactions in the health care space. M&S health care lawyer Celia Van Lenten shares thoughts for #healthcareproviders on mergers and acquisitions, staffing regulations and shortages, navigating AI laws and protecting against privacy and security incidents, among other topics. ? Celia takes a deep dive into the influx of mergers and acquisitions — both large and small — in the health care industry over the last 15 years and drivers around this trend, including the economies of scale. “It is just so enormously expensive to provide high quality health care and providers are leaning in more than ever to take advantage of that scale through different types of combinations, affiliations, partnerships...” ? Celia also addresses private equity investments in the health care industry, the impact a change of ownership can have on provider licenses and federal and state scrutiny of M&A transactions. ? Thank you to Mark J. Ross at Baker Tilly US for helping to bring attention to these important topics. #Healthcare #Mergers https://lnkd.in/eR5jZqNn
